the plant is 4 weeks old. i havent tested the ph but added lime to the soil before planting for ph balance.

i havent added any nutes yet. temps may be running a little high so i backed lights up a bit

most of the leaves' edges are pointing down and a few even wilted, there are also yellow/brown spots on some of the leaves

this all happened in a day...any advice!?

Yeah, picture 2 shows heat stress. How close were the lights and what were the temps? And why would you add lime without pH testing first? Get a pH kit quick so you can catch new problems that will probably be coming up soon.

They might also be underwatered, what's your watering schedule?

i have 4 cfl's, one on top and three positioned around the side of the plant. they were pretty close all within a few inches of the plant i didnt have a thermometer at the time but i just got one and the temp is aound 80 or so which is after i moved the lights back so maybe heat stress?

i wait till the soil is dry to water shes in a 3 gallon pot and its usually every 4-5 days that it needs watering

also its week 4 and i havent added any nutes up to this point sould i go pick up some ferts?

the problem seems to be getting worse quickly more of the leaves are starting to get yellowish spots
